This study was conducted to develop a plan for a large-scale implementation of the Girl Friendly Science Program based on the results of analysis and investigation of its current pilot implementation, Girl Friendly Science Program materials, which was first developed in 1999 with the support from Ministry of Gender Equality, consist of 1) five theme-based units that are specifically targeted individual students' unique ability, aptitude, and career choice, and 2) differentiated learning materials for 7th through 10th grade female students. All the materials are available at the homepage (http://tes.or.kr/gfsp.cgi) of 'Teachers for Exciting Science(the organization of science teachers in Seoul area)'. Since the materials are well organized by topic and grade level and presented in both Korean word process document and html format, anyone can easily access to the materials for their own instructional use. Ever since its launch the number of visitors to the homepage has been constantly increasing. The evaluation results of the current pilot implementation of the materials that targeted individual students' ability and aptitude showed that it scored high in terms of its alignment to the original purpose, content, level, and effectiveness to implement in classrooms. However, its evaluation scores were low in terms of the convenience for teachers to guide the materials, and its organization and operation. The results also showed a significant change in students' perception of science, and students' positive experiences of science through various interdisciplinary activities. On the other hand, the evaluation of students' experiences with the materials showed that students' assessment about an activity was largely depending on a success or failure of their experiences. Overall, students' evaluation of activities scores were low for simple activities such as cutting off or pasting papers. According to students' achievement test results, differences between pre and post test scores in the Affective Domain was statistically significant (p<0.05), but not in Inquiry Domain. Based on teachers observations, numerous schools where have run this program reported that students' abilities to cooperate, discuss, observe and reason with evidences were improved. In order to implement this program in a larger scale, it is critical to have a strong support of teachers and induce them to change their teaching strategy through building a community of teachers and developing ongoing teacher professional development programs. Finally, there still remain strong needs to develop more programs, and actively discover and train more domestic woman scientists and engineers and collaborate with them to develop more educational materials for girls in all ages.

The development of urbanization in the twentieth century according to the rampant growth of industrialization not only brought about the improvement of life-quality but also induced us to reconsider the contemporary issues such as crisis of echo system which made us aware of the values and significance of the system and sustainable environments. As sustainability has been recognized as the holistic concept, it has been highlighted as one of the core concepts in the studies with the present ecological perspective. Particularly, as the plan of urbanization in Korea which had been based on the deconstruction has been converted into the regeneration, economic and cultural regeneration is also demanded for the future plan besides material regeneration. This study aims to scrutinize various attributes of socially sustainable designs in Yerba Buena Garden of San Francisco, USA which has been globally well known as a successful example of urban regeneration. By way of visit-and-observation of the place, the research for the study was conducted during the month of December, 2007. Three researchers visited Yerba Buena Garden to observe and take photographs and to obtain relevant data and public documents in local public library. Socially sustainable design was measured on the basis of such principles; social facilitation, permeability and accessibility, safely and emotional stability, softness and feminism, and child care convenience. Relevant data were systematically organized to support and prove the above principles. The result of the study is expected to effectively be utilized for Korean environment plan and design as a benchmarking guidelines against the crisis of degeneration and the aging society with the lowest birthrates in the world.

A new urban paradigm that moves from a vehicle-centric to pedestrian-centric culture should be considered to improve the quality of the pedestrian environments for women, children, senior citizens, and disabled persons as well as to promote community unification by providing general movement rights to everyone. This study was implemented to provide decent alternatives to improve street spaces. The street spaces around the Commercial and Residential Area No.1 located in the Administrative-Centered City, Sejong Special Autonomic City, were selected to analyze and define the status of the walkways and the street spaces. Satellite imagery and numerical maps were used to collect geographic data. Practical and actual surveys for the selected sites were performed to analyze the street status and the pedestrian status. Based on the all collected data, analysis results, and literature reviews, the questionnaire was made, and 315 inquiries qualified for analysis. The physical status of all four study sites was the highest level, Grade A, and green open spaces were relatively sufficient. As a result, the factors obtained from the factor analysis have an impact on the satisfaction of the pedestrian streets in the commercial area. The factors are as followed Design > Convenience > Roadside trees and rest areas > Safety > Safety protective facilities > Transportation and information facilities > Continuity > Basic state of road surfaces > Comfortability, and in the residential area: Transportation and information facilities > Basic state of road surfaces > Comfort > Convenience > Continuity > Design > Illumination and crime prevention facilities > Safety > Roadside trees and rest areas.

Selenoproteins,in Korean blood serum, GPx, SelP, and SeAlb were separated and determined with the use of HPLC-ICP/MS. Deuterium was used as a collision gas and affinity column with ammonium formate was used as an eluting solvent for the accurate quantitation of selenoproteins in human blood serum. Certified reference material BCR 639 (133±12 ng g^-1) was tested for the accuracy and the result was satisfactory 130±6 ng g^-1. Blood serum for the rectal cancer and controlled groups were collected and analyzed to give 84±27 ng g^-1, and 119±28 ng g^-1, respectively. The difference was statistically obvious when t-test was performed (t_cal 4.93 > t_95% 2.04). The decrease for cancer group was more obvious for female and aged group. The distributions of three selenoproteins were similar with each other, which means rectal cancer group did not show any specificity for any selenoproteins. As cancer developed, GPx showed a slight decrease but not obvious while the total concentration was increasing particularly at the second stage of cancer.

우리나라의 제지산업은 천연펄프 자급능력이 20% 내외로서 낮은 실정이며 주원료의 7 70% 이상을 수입펄프와 고지에 의존하는 원료수급의 불균형이 심화된 상태이다 .. 1999년도 제지통계에 의하면 골판지 원지로 사용되는 라이너지와 골심지의 연간 생산량이 각각 169만 톤과 88만톤을 점유하여 국내 전체 지류생산량 887만톤의 약 29%를 점하고 있다. 이처럼 국내 제지산업에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 골판지 원지는 주로 국내에서 발생되는 고지를 원료 로 하여 생산되고 있어 환경친화적인 지류라 할 수 있다. 그러나, 국산 골판지 고지( Korean O Old Corrugated Container)의 경우 골판지 고지 이외에 각종 인쇄고지와 기타 산업용지가 혼합된 최하급지로서, 고지 재생 시 여러 가지 많은 제한요소를 지니고 있다. 국산 골판지 고지는 거듭된 재생처리로 인하여 미세분의 함량이 전체 지료의 절반에 달할 만큼 많으며, 아울러 섬유가 각질화됨에 따라 재생처리가 거듭될수록 그러한 미세분의 형성이 더욱 조장 되고 있다. 일반적으로 크기 75µm 이하의 무기질 및 단섬유를 일걷는 미세분은 골판지 원지 의 초지시 습지필의 탈수를 저해하여 생산성을 저하시키는 요인이 되어 왔다. 이러한 문제 를 해결하기 위해 선진국에서는 골판지 고지를 스크린 또는 클리너 둥으로 정선 처리하여 장단섬유를 분급한 다음, 장섬유분을 선택적으로 고해하여 종이의 강도를 향상시키는 기술 이 개발되어 적용돼 왔으나, 이러한 기술은 우리 나라와 같이 장섬유 보다 미세분 함량이 많은 저급의 골판지 고지를 주원료로 삼는 골판지 원지의 강도 개선에 큰 효과를 거둘 수 없는 기술이라고 판단된다. 이는 기존의 섬유 분급 처리는 고급 고지의 경우에는 효과적이 나 저급의 혼합고지를 100% 재활용하여 구성되는 국산 골판지의 생산 시에 적용하기에는 5 50-60%에 이르는 미세분이 포함되어 분리의 대상이 섬유장이 다른 펼프 섬유라기 보다는 미세섬유를 펄프섬유로부터 분리하는 것이 필요하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서는 기포의 수력학적 포집작용을 이용하여 고농도의 미세분을 선택적으로 분급시키는 부상부 유 분급처리방법을 적용하였다. 이 방법은 미세분의 농축을 위한 부가적인 처리가 필요치 않으며, 분급에 천공을 이용하지 않기 때문에 분급처리 시 천공의 plugging 문제가 발생되 지 않는다는 장점도 가지고 있다. 미세분 분급을 위한 최적의 부상부유 조건은 장섬유의 응 집을 촉진하면서 미세분은 그러한 응집체에 포함되지 않은 상태로 자유로이 부상하여 걷혀 지는 경우이다. 응집거동을 조절하기 위한 시도로서 부상부유 처리시 유량을 달리한 실험결 과에 의하면 유량이 낮을수록 장섬유 손실이 줄고 미세분이 선택적으로 포집되나 전체 부상 부유 리젝트의 양이 줄어드는 문제점이 있었다. 이에 본 실험에서는 장섬유의 응집에 영향 하는 또 다른 인자로서 지료의 농도를 증가시키면서, 미세분의 부상부유를 촉진시키도록 유 량을 증가시키는 조건으로 부상부유 처리에 의한 미세분 분급효율을 증가시키고자 하였다.
